Just knitting

 Nice way to spend the afternoon in the campervan while on holiday in Pembrokeshire. 

Knitting my 3rd Zick Zack scarf. This time in Scheepjes Downtown. 2 rows in City Shopper and 2 rows in East Avenue. Such an easy pattern to remember perfect while away #sarahmademedoit

Happy Birthday to Moo

Its been too long since I last posted. I can always find inspiration at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 and they didn't fail me.  The sketch I've used to create my card is Sketch 116 created by Kathie.

The image I've used on my card is a Whimsy Stamps Crissy Armstrong rubber stamp called Birthday Cow. I love this picture and it was so easy to colour.  The papers are Stampin Up and the sentiment is also by Stampin Up called Express Yourself.

Sweet Sketch Wednesday Sketch 86

I can always rely on Sweet Sketch Wednesday to help me out when I need a layout for one of my cards. I've been itching to ink up this Taylored Expressions stamp. The set is called Pawsome and also comes with a die cut supplied to cut out this cute dog.  The papers I've used are a Stampin Up designer series. I think I'll be using this stamp set a few more times. Love it.

Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 Sketch 82 - Happy Valentines

Its been too long since I crafted.  I've made a few cards (not many), but most have been ones I've copied.  At long last I've made a card with the help of Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 Sketch 82. Its Valentines Day today so what a better way to show hubby how much I love him by making him a card.  I've used LOTV Odd Dog stamp called Balloon, the papers are also LOTV Butterfly kisses, and the die in the background is a La La Land one.  The sentiment is from a Clearly Besotted set. I just hope that now that I've actually made a card I won't leave it so long next time.

Happy Birthday to Mum

At long last I've made a card. Mr Mojo definitely did a runner at the beginning of the year, and its taken him ages to come back to me. If it wasn't for mums birthday and hubby saying I wasn't allowed to buy her a card, I most probably would still not have made a card.
I found the Just Add Ink challenge blog while looking through Pinterest.  I've used sketch #260. The papers are LOTV Nitwit Collections Country Meadow, and the image is a digi Wee Stamps one called Daphne. How cute is she.  The happy birthday die cut is a Celebrations Die by Penny Black, and the Mum is Memory Box.  I've also used liquid pearls on the card.

Mojo Monday 376

I was really stuck on creating this birthday card for my mums friend who will be celebrating her 88th birthday on the 28th of this month.  She loves poppies, so I thought that Tilda with a poppy was perfect for her.  Thank goodness for a great sketch at Mojo Monday.  The papers I've used are by Lili of the Valley called Country Meadow.  I thought I'd give the card a slight christmasy feel to it, that's why I chose the red background.  The flower is a Magnolia doohickey die called Doiley Flowers.

A christmas card (at long last)

Every year its the same old tale. My mojo disappears and I just can't get motivated to make any Christmas cards. Am I the only person this seems to happen to every year.  Thank goodness for Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2.  If their sketches weren't there I don't know what I would do. They have got me out of some spots over the years/months.  The paper I've used is by LOTV called Woodland Wishes.  The image is also by LOTV called Three Little Angels.  I've had the stamp for ages and am ashamed to say I have only just used it.  The stars have been created from a punch and the sentiment is computer generated.
